Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate developers took influence from Street Fighter and Samurai Showdown for combat system

Gabriel will get a shoryuken move, kappa.

I was already going to buy this one. Now it looks even better.

Just waiting for the PS3/360 port confirmation. Loving this new Castlevania games.

Lord of Shadow already pissed me off (just my opinion, don't get mad) as a fan of the older series, but I hope Mirror of Fate can rekindle my love for these games.

Sounds good. Look forward to it.

I don't think Mirror of Fate will be getting a PS3 or 360 port. All those HD assets they have, were mostly used when making the DS version, before down scaling. This will most likely stay on the 3DS.
Here's to hoping it's even more awesome than LoS.

That's good... but I'm still waiting for the game with the awaited 1999 final battle against Dracula in the original timeline.

Can we get a game with a young Julius Belmont killing Dracula for good now?

Whoops! Misread

The new 3d castlevania games are not castlevania games, they were just a game that was in development that kojima thought why not put castlevania on its title, pretty much ruined the series, hopefully Koji Igarashi gets to make castlevania games again.

I though his buddy kratos teach gabriel.

Whatever... the Lords of shadow saga isnt that bad but isnt as good as the original saga, I really want a new castlevania game from IGA team and michiru yamane in the music please. I hope Mirror of fate calm a little that "metroidvania" hungry

I'm super finnicky about what action games I play, they have to feel similar to Ninja Gaiden Black or I won't like them.

Coming from that PoV, I LOVED Castlevania:LoS. It was challenging enthralling and beautiful. However the 2 Shadow of the Colossus-esque titan fights were pretty terrible. At least it was a really small part of the game.

i'm sure they did, the rekka ken part

Oh how many times have I heard a game claim the combat system is modelled after a fighter only for it to be the same old same old.

with all due respect, fûck castleroid games. That style predated the series since 1996 with SoTN, so I'm glad there's a change in the series for once. Ecclesia was a good start and LoS seems good enough to keep people interested (regardless of how "stupid" the plot seems to be for some people).

Man, so many conservative people when it comes to Castlevania:

"If Alucard is not the protagonist the game sucks". I guess that's why the Belmont clan have been the protagonists since the beginning of the franchise.
"If it isn't Michiru Yamane the music sucks". Of course Yamane rules, and her magnum opus was SotN's OST, released 17 years ago. How come we haven't get over it is beyond my understanding.

Seriously, people, is change in Castlevania such a bad thing?? Are we so stuck up in the past we aren't able to look forward??

@1 Clearly you've never played Castlevania Rondo of Blood or at least played as Richter often in Symphony of the Night because he has a shoryuken which I belive returned in Harmony of Despair.

"Just waiting for the PS3/360 port confirmation."
^This.

"but I'm still waiting for the game with the awaited 1999 final battle against Dracula in the original timeline."
^ This too.

"[Fact:]The new 3d castlevania games are not castlevania games, they were just a game that was in development that kojima [sic: Konami] thought why not put castlevania on its title..."

^This three.

Also a fan of Castlevania Series. I am so glad I was wrong of lords of Shadow. Originally I had thought it was a god of war rip off, but I am glad, there is a reason why he was so violent, now that I know. This is a mother of all plot twists and even bigger plot twist on the 3ds mirror of fate. looking forward to it.

LoS2 is gonna be AWESOOOOOME!

Oh yea always liked these games, very nice.

guess you guys never played the Castlevania:SOTN because its the same way

"They will pay... for I AM the Dragon, Dracul, I'm the prince of darkness and that is my vengeance"

I think Castlevania LOS was one of the very few successful reboots (Hoping Tomb Raider be the same). It had a far better story than previous games, perfect voice acting (The voice acting is on the same level as Metal Gear), the gameplay was fun, the stages were beautifully amazing and great character design. I'm rally anticipating LOS2 and still don't get why people are crying about this game.

LoS was gr8 getting this and the sequel

I was so glad i got Los kojimas supervision brought a game dripping with quality. I think the combat system is very underrated and can be expanded. It's very hard to do alot of cool spells in the game cause on a harder diffculty your forced to recycle less powerful or cool looking moves.

They need to elaborate a bit more.

LOS was great. Don't know why people hate on it.

LOS was great. Don't know why people hate on it.

Only thing just noticed about the story in this game is that
it will contradict the events that happened in Castlevania 3 curse of darkness,(don't wiki story in game if you don't want spoilers) but since it's a reboot I guess it's fair play.
